The same Device: ‘localID’ is used in most of the data sent from the machine.

Each person using a computer can be traced using another identifier ‘User: localID’.

That localID alone doesn’t identify a particular person, but an individual could be targeted when combined with other information available to or bought by Microsoft.

Microsoft Office data

To see what’s being sent from Microsoft Office, enter Microsoft.Office into the search box at the top.

That narrows the list down to anything involving Office.

To narrow it down even more use the search terms: Winword, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook.

If you’re being really suspicious, there’s the possibility that the Diagnostic Data Viewer isn’t showing all the information sent to Microsoft. After all, it’s a Microsoft tool so the company could choose not to reveal everything in the app.
